Live each day as if it were your last. Worry only about yourself. Work hard and never, ever fall in love. Thatâs Olivia Buchananâs motto and she stands by it every day.

Feisty, headstrong and confident, recent graduate Liv is fighting to succeed in the male dominated field she has chosen as her career. As an architect for her best friend's father's respected London based company, her chance to shine and become recognised comes when she lands the prestigious account for GO Sports and Leisure.

Armed with her plans and determination, Liv is ready to deliver the presentation of her life. That is, until he walks in. The mysterious personal trainer from the gym. The only man to make her heart flutter. But he isn't all he seems.

When MMA fighter, Nathan Oakes offers Liv a business proposition to join him in Southern France, sheâs left questioning his motives and wonders if she should refuse. Sheâs also equally intrigued by the prospect of what the trip could do for her career.

Liv has no time for a relationship. Nate doesnât want one. When forced to live side by side, though, feelings are stretched and emotions are battled. Can they keep their professional and personal lives separate and prevent them from falling into something they both need to avoid? Or are they prepared to fight?

Meet the author

EJ Shortall was born and raised in London, England where she currently still lives with her teenage son.

Having worked in education for the better part of 12 years, EJ decided a change was needed and, following a moment of inspiration, she decided to put pen to paper and start writing her first novel, Silver Lining. Not content with just the one, she continued with book two and hopes to write many more.

She has always enjoyed reading, but found it was mostly just a holiday extravagance. Then she discovered a certain worldwide best seller, and that was it she was hooked. Reading quickly became an obsession and she couldnât devour books fast enough. The books on her shelves and reading device range from sweet, Young Adult romances, to smouldering erotic encounters.

âI am on one amazing roller coaster ride at the moment, meeting new and wonderful people, discovering new music gems to integrate into my stories, and learning so many new skills. I canât wait to see where this journey takes me.â
